But how do you identify your typical vampire?
Well, obviously this is the tricky part, because you want to identify the vampire without becoming its victim. The first thing you will notice about a vampire is that he or she possess an uncommon and extraordinary ability to make you feel special. The vampire is able to seduce your ego in such a way that you may find yourself longing after their forbidden fruit. So be careful!
Another way to identify a vampire is with a mirror. Vampires can absolutely not be seen in a mirror. When you are around the person you suspect to be a vampire, use any excuse you can to use your compact mirror and steal a quick glance at him. If you can see him, your safe, if not, you better hide!
Vampires also hate garlic, so if you happen to be out to dinner with your vampire suspect, suggest a pizza loaded with extra garlic. If your date cringes, chances are he or she is a vampire.
One other way to decide if someone is a vampire is to make a lunch date. If your suspect refuses to meet you at lunch, but constantly suggests that you meet for dinner, you have exposed your vampire's true self.
Okay you have identified your vampire, now what?
There are several techniques to slay a vampire, and some are not all that gruesome. One of the easiest ways to slay a vampire is to throw "holy" water on him. "Holy" water can be purchased in small vials that will fit discretely into any handbag, or pocket. All you have to do is simply unplug the end of the tube and sling it at your vampire.
A quick stake to the heart is another way to dispose of the vampire. Unfortunately, this method requires an up close encounter with a vampire, and many of us are not up to that challenge. Although this method seems gruesome, vampires have no blood, so they will not bleed out when disposed of in this fashion.
Light can also destroy a vampire, but getting your vampire into the sunlight may prove to be a challenge. So, you may have to bring the light to your vampire. A good Halogen bulb can accomplish much in vampire slaying, and can be found in many new lanterns and flashlights. Make sure you purchase the highest watt bulbs available.
Once your vampire has been slayed you will find that a goodnight's sleep will be your reward. This exercise has helped many restless insomniacs through out the years, and hopefully it will help you.
Happy vampire hunting!
